GREAT PUBS OF ENGLAND by Horst Friedrichs and Stuart Husband (Prestel £35, 240pp). This beautiful book demonstrates what all pubs, though they may vary greatly, share in common
There are few things — aside from perhaps seeing friends and family — that were missed as much during the bleak months of lockdown as the public house. Pubs are one thing that the English really do get right, whether it’s a cosy, wood-panelled, creaky floored establishment that offers the perfect backdrop to a hearty Sunday roast, or the lively kind that spills out onto the street on a Friday night.
This beautiful book demonstrates what all pubs, though they may vary greatly, share in common: ‘To offer the warmest of welcomes and to lift the spirits.’
